There is an article on oil burners on the IBLS web site, it is by my great uncle, it shows a print for the burner and the fire pan.

Hello to all in the great beyond, dose the siphon tube for a pressure gage have to be like a pig's tail or can it be another shape like a J.

I have watched some of his videos, I think it would be great for the hobby if the IBLS could get them, I think his family would have to get YOUTUBE to get them. I hope he rests in peace and has a clear track and a fast schedule.

yes he did some then he showed me how to do some, it is amazing what a steak dinner can get up back in the day

Try it again, got to work.

Yes,it is made from apc of 5 1/2" oil well drill pipe 1/4" thick, all the rest of the plate is 3/16" ,the tube are Dom steel pressure tube, 1/2" od , got all the steel free from a fellow in California who is an oil pipeline welder. Tried to add photos of back ,told file is to big...
